#i do find this hilarious though
Why every time a fantasy book has some kind of human-animal bonding thing, 90% of the time it’s a wolf and the rest of the time it’s some other cool animal like a hawk or some other bird of prey?
Why not some ordinary animal that people usually come in contact with, like a rat or a pidgeon or hell, a pig?
I could write that, actually. A dude practicing Dark And Forbidden inherent animal magic, whose familiar is a pig.
Not even a wild boar or anything, just a completely ordinary sow.
Just a man and a pig, hanging out, being friends. Making morbid jokes about eating each others’ children.
